spode@thinkbikes Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 We don't take pictures at all our demos, but it was a particularly sunny day yesterday so we thought we would. Besides that, we were breaking in our new demo rig, courtesy of tartybikes.co.uk. Big thanks to Adam & Dave for funding that one My girlfriend was behind the camera most of the time, and took a splatter gun approach. I just had to sort through around 600 photos and decided that these were the ones worth putting up. http://www.thinkbikes.com/gallery/?dir=.%2...Fmerrist2007%2FI also did some GIMP work and stitched a few together.

Tall_Rob Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I had a brilliant day but have just found out that i have had a broken foot for about 2 weeks and rode the whole demo like it..... Was great weather, awesome crowd, and got some guy to rev the hell out of a supercharged 'General Lee' that sounded wicked.Take a look at my foot.......My left foot is huge and throbbs!You can't see any viens or tendons in it either.Left: Spode's foot Right: My swollen foot (size 13)Looks like it may be going in to cast!Got some awesome 360 spins on the grass though despite my foot. Was the best day ever... epsecially when some kid said ''You're my hero''Trebor x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spode@thinkbikes Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Shame spode didnt post a pic of his swollen ankle as part of the injuries collection.LOL. You're not going to believe this....Rob wanted to go to A&E, so I figured I may as well tag along and get mine looked at.So after some checking and an x-ray, it turns out I BROKE MY ANKLE!!!I'm in a cast for six weeks, and then possibly another 6 weeks of rehab. Freaking hell!! I was riding all day on it! Edited May 21, 2007 by Spode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of us with the same address, both with problems with our left foot, both having done it yesterday...sponsership? or just to help thinkbikes.com out a bit to help there running. maybe to display a small banner at there demos?Lots of reasons. Mainly because my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. Allegedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Well I went to the fracture clinic yesterday. They re-x-rayed mine about 6 times and couldn't find a fracture. Which means I have tendon/ligament damage or whatever. So they've put me in a walkable cast instead. Same time off riding, in actuality involves more rehab I would have posted it yesterday but I came down with some sort of stomach bug / food poisoning. Not my week!
